Erik Satie's piano music

This is the CD I owned. Oh my god!!!It certainly worth the price...

In my opinion, Erik Satie's piano solo music is the best "funiture music", as the composer called it, for one who drinks alone at home. Aldo Ciccolini is surely the best interpreter and performer for Satie's work. Well, I'm not saying the Gymnopedie I & Trois Gnossiennes are not suitable for concert hall........

Lang Lang has played some of them for The Painted Veil's soundtrack last year. It was a nice version but still, compared to Ciccolini's passionate performance (I really admire Ciccolini's control on the dynamics ), Lang Lang's version is only so so.

I guess maybe Satie himself is an acoholic too, (and he's always a single lonely man) ...he got drunk all the time like so many famous musicians...Mozart surely is a classic of the case.

Anyway I highly recommand people to buy this CD..Ciccolini Bravo........
